Dragon Bleu (Vodka)

 * ( [ delete] ) – (View AfD) (View log)

non-notable vodka; as far as I can tell, it is distributed only in Michigan. The awards won are minor at best; dozens of other vodkas received a silver medal or higher in San Francisco, for example. Brianyoumans (talk) 02:21, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep Athough a very uninteresting subject and article, it is sourced with a couple of secondary sources so should stay. Redddogg (talk) 02:42, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * As far as I can see, the references are mostly based on a press release from the company, and are largely about the distributors and not about the vodka. Brianyoumans (talk) 02:45, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep notable and sourced; plenty of other relevant ghits. JJL (talk) 03:15, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I was not able to find significant numbers of ghits for this vodka. There is a vodka-based drink named a "Blue Dragon", which I suspect predates this vodka and probably inspired the name. There are lots of other things named "Blue Dragon" or "Dragon Bleu", but very very few references to this particular vodka. By my count, there are 4 links in the top 60 ghits - this article, the distributor's website, one of the sources used in the article, and a very brief mention on a site called "bestuff.com".

 * No French sources? With the vodka of French origin, I'd expect some. - Mgm|(talk) 09:24, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
 * I have now found one French source, at least: an interview with one of the creators of Dragon Bleu, and this seems to indicate that it is available in France, at least from the distiller and online. It seems to be quite obscure, but it exists. I'm not convinced it needs an article, but at least the distributors didn't make up the info on its origins.Brianyoumans (talk) 09:57, 17 December 2008 (UTC)
